2. Expander Chips
This expander chip allows the backplane
to support dual ports, cascading, and
failover.
1. Flash Chips
The ash chip enhances the backplane
memory.
3. - 5. SAS Ports
The primary and secondary sets of SAS
ports provide expander features including
cascading and failover. From right to left
the ports are Primary 1,2,3 and Second-
ary 1,2,3.
6. EPP Ports
The EPP ports are used for manufacturer
diagnostic purposes only.
9. Debug Connector
The debug connector is designated EX-
PDBG1 and is used for manufacturer's
diagnostic purposes only.
10. UART Connector
The UART connector is designated SMART_
UART and is used for manufacturer's diag-
nostic purposes only.
